Spawning Season

Joseph Osmundson, author of the award-finalist VIROLOGY, reads from his genre-bending memoir about queer family-making, scientific ethics, and building kinship beyond biology. When a lesbian couple he'd known since college asked him to be their bio-dad and co-parent, Joe thought he'd found his path to parenthood—until questions of race, whiteness, and belonging reshaped everything. An intimate evening exploring grief, caregiving, and what it means to make family in the 21st century.
